Looks

Flowers + Fringe

May 9, 2016

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with a whole lot of love, flowers + fringe.  

We started a new Mother’s Day tradition this year. The Mister had the idea to plant flowers as a family. Normally, I wait until Memorial Day weekend to plant, but I just love the idea of starting on Mother’s Day with my little family.

It was beautiful, sunny and 65 degrees in Chicago yesterday, so obviously I was in shorts and a tee. (What’s chilly for California is warm for us. Perspective.) I just ordered these adorable fringe sandals from Amazon last week (ps they’re less than $40!), and I’ve been LOVING them. You guys probably know by now that I’m a sucker for anything that’s comfortable AND cute AND inexpensive. The trifecta.  

I shared this Target straw tote on my Instagram a couple of weeks ago. It’s quickly become my go-to summer tote. And when I saw this Starbucks cup this weekend, I had to have it. I have this thing for mint. It’s become a problem. We’ll talk about that later.  

Here’s to a lovely week!

Tomorrow I get to do something I’ve been wanting Tomorrow I get to do something I’ve been wanting to do for years. I will have a partial hysterectomy (leaving my ovaries). I’m 41 years old and it’s high time.  
 
I’ve lived with chronic uterine pain from fibroids for almost 20 years. It’s affected every part of my life, almost every single day. I’ve learned to deal with the pain and mitigate where I can. But still… 
 
We need to talk about fibroid pain. 
We need to talk about period pain.  
We need to talk about uterine pain. 
  
Most of all we need to listen to women when we say we’re in pain.  
 
Cramps HURT like hell. And while we’re strong enough to deal with the pain, maybe we’re just too damn tired to continue trying.  
 
And did you know? It’s called a “hysterectomy” because it was believed that women’s uteruses were making them hysterical.  
 
Let that sink in.  
 
I’m not hysterical.  
We’re not hysterical.  
We’re fucking warriors who have fought battles with our bodies.  
 
It’s time.
